Mayawati not a true follower of Ambedkar: Mulayam

Lucknow: Taking a dig at Mayawati, Samajwadi
Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Sunday said although the UP
chief minister claims herself to be an Ambedkar follower, she
is allowing government land to be grabbed for money.

"Mayawati claims herself as a follower of Amebdkar but
she is getting government land grabbed for money. Ambedkar
wanted to unite and educate the Dalits and backwards, but
Mayawati is even shying to meet them," Yadav alleged.

Even her own party legislators and parliamentarians find
it hard to meet the chief minister, the SP leader said.

Yadav, who was addressing party workers in a function
here to mark the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal
Bahadur Shastri, claimed that capitalist forces are against
his party as it fights for the cause of farmers and poor.

"The capitalist forces are always against SP as it fights
in favour of farmers, poor and village folks," he said.

Only Samajwadi Party could provide good governance in the
state as it understands the problems of common man, Yadav
said.
